Porcelain Onlays

Porcelain onlays is a dental restoration using a personalized filling created from compound material or substance which can be gold or tooth-colored porcelain. Onlays is well-liked because of their similarity with the normal tooth. Onlays are also called partial crowns and these are done by a specialized dental laboratory. Porcelain onlays are paved onto the teeth for a lifetime.

Onlays are used to conventionally fix teeth that appear to have big faulty fillings or those teeth which have been dented caused by rotting or decay.

Are you qualified for onlays?

An onlay method more often than not needs to be scheduled twice. The initial dental visit would consist of taking quite a few precise impressions or molds which will be utilized to make your custom-built onlay as well as a short-term restoration.

When the tooth is anesthetized, your La Grange dentist Dr. Qureshi shall take out any decay and/or previous filling bits and pieces. After that, the space shall be carefully cleared up and made ready, adjusting the area to appropriately put an onlay restoration. A short-term filling shall be used as a covering for the protection of the tooth during the time the onlay is formed by a dental laboratory.

On your next meeting with your dentist, your brand new onlay shall be delicately and accurately paved into its proper place. A small number of modifications might be needed to be able to guarantee a suitable positioning and to make sure that your chewing is at ease.

At the end of the procedure, you will then be given a set of instructions on how to correctly take care of your new onlay. This includes proper oral hygiene methods, a right diet, and habitual dental consultations.

I have been coming to Healthy Smiles for many years, with Dr. Danielson retiring I was disappointed, however after having a checkup and subsequent cavity fill with Dr. Qureshi any doubt has been put out of my mind. Extremely professional and personal as well! Great Dentist.
